May NOT be the answer

IN one of the Dracula spoofs (Love at first bite?) there is a scene where Dracula wakes up with a hangover after drinking the blood of an alcoholic

I've had this before, but I think it was pre-beer thread. This is a really nice, hoppy pale, with a first taste of peachy fruit, that becomes more grapefruity and bitter, with that lingering into the aftertaste. A nice balance of flavours, just about perfectly done for my palate. Lovely stuff, and a favourite in the Monkey Household.

One that I'm sure is old hat to most of the beer thread faithful. I've not tasted Brewdog, being somewhat unimpressed by brewers describing (among other things) "kalashnikov bursts of caramel" on their labels. I have, it seems, been cutting off my nose to spite my face. This has an initial, citrus/peachy taste, which becomes grapefruity and bitter, with that latter lingering into a refreshing, dry aftertaste. I'd not describe the caramel as "bursts", but it is, I think, an undertone in the taste. Lovely aroma too.

I also tried a Ballistic Brewing Co. "Ground Pup" (hopefully, pics and a more detailed review to follow). Another pale, with equally "I say!" marketing, but a less powerfully citrus flavour in an overall taste that I found really nice. One I want to go back to.

Well i havent been slacking! My phones bust though, so cant upload piccies.

Had a couple from Wild Beer Co. of Bristol. Well worth seeking out - they seem to be all farmyard/sour/tart brews.

Currently tucking into Amager's "king og kenticky", not surprisunfly a borbon BA RIS (im assuming youre all down with the abbrevs). Super vanillary smooth!!
